Arthur - 1981 - 6/10

Arthur, an eternal manboy, stands to inherit hundreds of millions of dollars if he marries well heeled Susan.
Sure, why not? Have the lawyer make a prenup, marry Susan, then move to Amalfi.
No, no, that would not make a Romcom, but possibly a decent Noir.
Arthur is an alcoholic, he adores New York, then he falls in love with poor, klepto, Linda.
Liza Minnelli (Really? Oh, right, right, he’s an alcoholic.)
John Gielgud is a delight as the sarcastic butler, Hobson.
Arthur made Dudley Moore a star for a brief time.
